Would you do this.
Would you put a unicorn tang in an 8 by 4 by 2 foot tall tank?

No a tang that gets 2ft should be given more space for swimming.

Besides the physical issues of such a large fish in that tank, I don't particularly like the illusion is creates. IMO it makes a big tank look very small. Heck if I'm going to drop all this money on buying and maintaining such a large tank, only to have a tuna sized fish in there making it look like a giant goldfish in a bowl

Don't get anything else until you get the tank. You have the eel, shark, purple tang, sohal tang, Achilles tang, and I think yellow tang all in your 90. It also has to mature for those to survive too so you can buy other fish in the future afterwards.

Don't get a unicorn. Go to a public aquarium that has a full size one with a large horn and you will instantly realize they need a huge tank.
